Well I'm typing this reply from my Company laptop located in my kitchen. I was able to get the router setup very easily. However, when I stated to setup my wireless network I ran into a couple of errors afer 3 calls to tech support (2 of them dropped) I recycled the router and modem along with a reboot (my idea not tech support) I am up and running. The speed is better than my previous router.
The Wii was super easy to setup.
Hoorah. We should sticky this thread, it's the first one ever with a happy ending......  |
